We need to talk about the plastic cup situation in the OKC Metro.

I know a few months ago (Maybe it was a year ago? I don’t know, time is a flat circle and also it’s almost 2020 so what the hell?) there was a picture that went local viral of someone loading up the top rack of a dishwasher with the plastic cups from places like Hideaway and Eskimo Joe’s. I can’t remember what the text said, but it was such a relatable image.

We all have too many plastic cups from restaurants.

Although she hasn’t been a part of the Oklahoma City media world since she bailed for Seattle in 2013, Liz Dueweke – or as we affectionately called her “Mean Dueweke” – is still part of the TLO-verse. She made it to the 2011 Ogle Madness Sweet 16, which is rarefied air around these parts, and to this day, we still get search engine queries from perverts looking for more information about her:

In the name of search engine optimization, Patrick should start writing more about Liz’s feet and bikinis.

Anyhoo, knowing our deep connection to Ms. Dueweke, imagine our shock and pleasure to see one of her tweets about candy go semi-viral across the OKC twitter echo chamber:

By now you’ve probably seen the countless generic fluff-piece stories from all the inspirational local news joints regarding the OKCPD officer who was caught “asleep on the job.” Here’s the video:

Now, I’ve never been one to be entirely behind the blue as a general statement, as there are many issues with our country’s overzealous law enforcement industrial complex, but this entire incident is just fucking stupid.

In case you didn’t know, the wannabe “journalist” who captured this earth shattering scene, isn’t new to stirring up issues with local law enforcement, nor does he show any indication of stopping.

In fact, the hobbitty provocateur who filmed the video, Patrick Roth, does shit like this all the time. He buddies up with the guy who take guns to parks, visits public facilities around the country, and stirs up shit to make himself a victim for his shittily edited Youtube channel because that’s his right. Don’t believe me? Just try to watch some cringe-inducing encounters he has, for some poorly thought out reason, decided to share with the public. Here’s one he uploaded a day or two ago:

On this week’s episode of The Lost Ogle Show presented by “Haunt the Zoo: All Grown Up,” Patrick and I chat with super librarian Judie Matthews and TLO contributor Lucas Dunn, the hosts of the soon-to-launch Free Queso podcast.

In this amazing episode, we talk all things Great State Fair of Oklahoma, including:

• Lucas and Judie’s report on 2019 Fair food, 4H comps and artwork
• Our Most Traumatic State Fair Memories (They Involve Blood)
• How Patrick will serve Donald Trump after the next American civil war
• Why we quit the state fair photo contest game

Patrick (@OKCPatrick) has finally realized that I, too, make typos, and he’s going through the archives trying to correct them all.

If you ever participated in a blood drive, or were foolish enough to give them an email, then you understand that these places are in constant need of blood. They’re the only organization willing to give people free food or an oversized t-shirt in exchange for your life-force. Yet they serve a need to help those in dire straits; an effort most can get behind.

Unfortunately, there are a few outdated rules that have limited some willing to give.
